Viewing a response to: @dana-edwards/steemit-should-warn-users-when-they-click-a-link-which-exits-the-platform
@dana-edwards How about a small visual cue like below. I just designed a quick external link icon that fits in with the curved nature of the other icons used on Steemit. <a href='https://postimg.org/image/pl2c3n5d7/' target='_blank'><img src='https://s9.postimg.org/50xi55pm7/Screen_Shot_2016_08_08_at_9_03_23_AM.png' border='0' alt='Screen Shot 2016-08-08 at 9.03.23 AM'/><br /><a target='_blank' href='https://postimage.org/'></a><br /><br />

I would very much prefer this rather than being pestered with popups for clicking a link which I made sure beforehand matches what I expect it to be. At the very least, if this is implemented, it ought to be an option and not mandatory.

Exactly, I think the best solution will provide a _non-blocking_ visual cue that is recognizable on both mobile and desktop.
